The Difference Between Cruelty Free & Vegan Beauty Products

by Rob BrunnerJanuary 29, 2018

Cruelty free and vegan have often blurred line as both terms are not yet regulated by the industry or by governments. However, we can define that Cruelty free products are made by not harming animals during the development, manufacturing and testing processes.

And that Vegan products are not made with animal ingredients or any animal byproducts, such as yogurt, gelatin, beeswax and honey. However, it is still possible for manufacturers to test these products on a wide range of animals to ensure the product’s effectiveness and safety on humans.

Cruelty Free Is Not Always Vegan

Again, there are different standards that are applied. Some cruelty free products may use animal by-products or even animal ingredients.

It means that although a moisturizing product that is considered cruelty free, it may still contain beeswax, so it’s not vegan.

This is where a lot of confusion comes into play and people buying these products often feel duped.

Rest assured that all our products are cruelty free and most are vegan!
